Boil in bag omelet Recipe

Omelet's for a crowd -impossible you say? Well this is the easiest way to make a perfect omelet for each one of your guests made to their detailed specifications -you can even have them help by adding whatever they fancy to their baggie.
Read more My kitchen is pretty teeny so when I made these I made up a little check sheet showing all of the available ingredients. I passed these out & each guest checked off what they wanted and then me & a few helpers made an assembly line and created each baggie. **BUT be sure you write the name of each guest on their baggie -a sharpie works great These omelets are so nice & easy my husband & I have started making our own omelets this way -you only have to boil water & the cleanup is a dream -just throw away the baggie when your done.

Drop into boiling water & cook for 12-14 mins depending on desired doneness. You can normally tell if you squeeze omelet how much liquid is left. If you've used wet ingredients it may take a little longer.

Removed from boiling water with tongs & pat dry on towel.

Immediately open, roll onto the plate and serve. It will roll out I promise -I've made these many times & never had one not come out completely & beautifully.

I tried this and it really cooked a great omelet! It was so easy, I used a large freezer bag, and because of gravity, I was concerned that the shape would be 8"x 1". While boiling it sort of floats to the top and spreads out. It and was pretty close to a regular "omelet" shape. The only thing I added was shredded cheese and to my amazement it worked and I didn't use any butter or oil. Granted it wasn't all healthy, but if you add something other than cheese or breafast meat, it could be a bit more healthier than frying!

How cool! This would be great for me. It's just my husband and myself and sometimes I want eggs and he just wants cereal. Or.... I could make up a couple of these ahead of time and take to work to finish in the microwave. Oh yeah, I can see this being a favorite at my house. Thanks for the great idea!

I can not rave enough about this recipe. We made it again this year for my Ring in the season brunch and it is just so simple and delicious that I had to come reiterate to all how special this recipe is. This year my husband thought to crack the eggs into their individual baggies before the event and this really made it flow much smoother than last year. We just gathered the bags zip end up into a basket and put in the fridge until the morning of the brunch. Again I printed up check lists & wrote each guests name on the baggies with a sharpie. In 13 minutes we all had delicious omelets and no one was left slaving away by the stove. I added smoked cheddar & swiss to my list of ingredients & my guests loved the added smokeyness. We even forgot to salt & pepper the baggies before cooking, but I found allowing each guest to salt their own on their plate actually worked better. Of course I've just discovered Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Seasonings -Original blend & that really helped the flavors of the omelet bloom. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who needs to feed a crowd or just those who don't want a lot of clean up after the meal. You just toss the bags & pour out your pot of water -presto -kitchen clean.
